Rep. Dave Brat Votes Against Veteran Affairs Funding
Democratic Challenger Eileen Bedell Calls his Vote Against Veteran Affairs Funding “Disgraceful”
Richmond, Va. (Sept. 29, 2016) – Last night, in a shameful move that proves his allegiance to ideology over his district, Congressman Dave Brat voted against funding Veteran Affairs.
“Dave Brat voted against allocating funding for our Veterans and wounded warriors that have sacrificed so much in their lives to keep us safe. He should be ashamed of himself.” said Ms. Bedell. “As someone who has met so many of the veterans in our district, it is beyond me that anyone could vote against their hard-earned benefits. We owe our military families at least that. Brat’s willingness to break our promise to these families is disgraceful.”
